Bought the wrong ammo

Post by 91MSUDAWG »

The last couple of years I have been shooting Win LB 3" #4's in 1 7/8 oz loads. I was in a hurry yesterday and accidentally bought 2 oz mag loads. Of course the store won't take back ammo after purchase. How much difference will there be between the 2 loads? The magnum loads shoot about 100 fps slower. Is that an issue? The 1 7/8 oz loads shoot really well out of my current set up. Thanks for any info.

With ammo, there is no absolutes. go shoot it. if it is regular style ammo without the resin holding the shot together like in a longbeard load, there will be a huge difference, I would guess.

I will shoot them the next time I hit the woods. Just gives me another excuse to head to the camp :D

I'll say you have more pellets on target as the lower velocity loads normally pattern better.
